I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

    I figured that out too, I usually start off with my subscribed feed for interesting discussion and news articles (but you have to sub to the right sublems), then I might hop over to the all feed for memes and random pr0n and anything that maybe I missed or new popular communities. Then I jump over to another account on a smaller regional instance and hit the local feed there. I get plenty of interesting discussion and articles… and I think it is way better than reddit has been in the last 10 years. It reminds me of reddit when I joined 15+ years ago. So I’ve had the direct opposite experience as @[email protected] , the discussions here have been exponentially better than reddit has been for a long, long time now.

    I will say that for like the first day or two I spent a good amount of time searching out and subbing to different sublems. I also used multiple different tools to find them. Two of the main ones being the built in Reddit Migration tool in Voyager, another being https://sub.rehab
